A husband was arrested on a charge of rape after raping his wife while holding her head in dirty laundry because she did not wash his clothes, according to police in Australia.

Now, the husband who works as a security guard in Essendon, has been sentenced to serve up to 11 years in prison after being found guilty of six counts of rape and one count of intentionally causing injury.

According to the police investigation, the husband became angry because his wife had not washed his colored socks, which he needed to wear at work.

When he confronted his wife, she laughed at him because she did not think he was serious. The husband then dragged his wife to the laundry room and pushed her head into a basket containing dirty laundry.

The husband then raped his wife while telling her that it is her job to wash the laundry. Another rape occurred when the wife was pregnant and she was not in the mood for sex.

During the course of their marriage, the husband raped his wife six times. The court heard that the husband treated his wife as property he owned.

The couple divorced and the security guard married another woman with whom he has one child.
